Job description

Hgen's mission is to achieve a clean and sustainable energy future through tackling emissions in hard-to-decarbonize industries. By enabling cheap and abundant clean hydrogen, Hgen aims to help decarbonize the more than 10% of global emissions that are best addressed with hydrogen.

As a Senior Controls Systems Engineer, you will lead the design, development, and commissioning of critical control systems that operate our electrolyzers. You will leverage your expertise in controls for safety-critical industrial systems to ensure our electrolyzers meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and reliability. This role offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment, where your contributions will have a direct impact on the future of decarbonization.


Key Responsibilities
  • Own the design, implementation and success of the process control systems for Hgen's advanced alkaline water electrolyzers.
  • Develop, program, and troubleshoot PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems to safely and reliably control all aspects of the hydrogen production process.
  • Oversee the qualification testing, certification and commissioning of control systems, ensuring safe and efficient operation within industrial environments.
  • Act as a chief engineer, engaging in cross-disciplinary collaboration with design engineering to arrive at the simplest system solutions.
  • Drive system-level architecture, balancing process requirements, capabilities, and safety to minimize the cost of hydrogen production.
  • Ensure full compliance of all control systems with industry safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in relevant engineering discipline (electrical, mechanical, chemical, computer science, or similar).
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in safety critical controls/automation engineering across development, project execution and maintenance.
  • Proficiency in designing, programming and troubleshooting PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems for monitoring and controlling complex industrial processes.
  • Experience with holistic system development, from architecture and hazard analysis to validation and compliance to safety standards and codes.
  • Strong understanding of control theory and process automation, as applied to fluid and gas systems.
Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Experience developing and commissioning control systems in hydrogen production, fuel cells, oil and gas, chemical plants, energy infrastructure or other relevant industries.
  • Working knowledge of industrial process equipment for fluid and gas systems (instrumentation, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, etc.) and high power electrical systems (switchgear, transformers, rectifiers, VFDs).
Professional Qualities
  • Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills, enthusiasm for complex problem solving, and desire to optimize systems holistically.
  • Strong project management skills and effective communication of technical concepts across multi-disciplinary teams.
  • First principles based decision making.
  • Passionate about decarbonization and addressing climate change.
